Giada De Laurentiis Doesn't Want to Judge Your Cooking
From the moment she wakes up, Giada De Laurentiis is thinking about numbers. The first thing she does is check reports on her four restaurants from the night before. Then she puts on a pedometer to track the 8,000 steps she aims to get that day. Despite initial concerns from her film producer grandfather Dino De Laurentiis, the four-time Emmy winner rose to fame as one of the most prominent faces on early-2000s Food Network. Her first show, 'Everyday Italian,' premiered in 2003. 'When I started at Food Network, chefs weren't stars,' she says. 'All of a sudden we became these icons that nobody could have predicted.'

The Giadzy x Rails Collab Proves Food & Fashion Are A Perfect Match
Giada De Laurentiis for Giadzy x Rails Food and fashion: a match made in heaven? It sure does feel that way at the moment, with edible motifs like sardines and citruses emblazoned across a variety of clothes and accessories this summer. It was only natural, then, for clothing brand Rails to hop aboard the fashion foodie train and recruit Giada De Laurentiis and her brand Giadzy for a truly delicious summer clothing collaboration. The capsule collection is like a summer vacation on the Italian Riviera come to life, complete with lightweight linens, bright pops of red, and food motifs that look good enough to eat. Giadzy x Rails When asked about how the collaboration first came about, Jeff Abrams, Founder and CEO of Rails, explained that the brand had noticed Giada organically wearing Rails in much of her Giadzy content. 'It felt like a natural fit,' he shared, which Giada echoed, stating she's been a Rails fan for years. Jeff continued to say that Giadzy's 'branding, much like Rails, is rooted in quality, aesthetic integrity, and a love for life's luxuries, [so]For Giada's first-ever clothing collaboration, she sought to bring la dolce vita to life through the designs for a collection that's good enough to eat. 'As a chef, I'm really drawn to the tactile and visual side of things,' Giada explained, merging her passions for food and fashion. Just as she's hands-on with the quality of Giadzy's products and packaging, she was excited to bring that same level of care to the clothing design process. Giadzy x Rails On the connection between food and fashion, Giada sees it as a natural merging of interests: 'Food and fashion are both deeply tied to culture and self-expression.' Just as food can transport you through time and space to evoke a specific memory or location, this collection is all about the transportive power of a good outfit. So, how do those ideas culminate in the final collection? Jeff describes the clothes as reflecting the spirit of la dolce vita 'through relaxed, travel-ready silhouettes, playful prints, and our signature soft, premium fabrics' that are both 'aspirational and approachable at the same time'. Whether you're shopping at the local farmers market, vacationing in Capri, or preparing a beautiful summer dinner for friends and family, you'll find something to gravitate towards in the collection. And to further drive home the marriage of food and fashion, the two brands also collaborated on a co-branded Giadzy recipe: the Lemony Cherry Tomato Bucatini. A recipe card is included with any purchase of the collection, and you can find it as a recipe box on Giadzy for the ultimate meal experience. Of course, I had to ask Giada about her favorite pieces from the collection and how she's excited to style them. Here are two of her go-tos: Giadzy x Rails Terena Dress | $268 'I'm obsessed with the Terena dress. The color is so bright and really pops. It's perfect for summer. It's the kind of piece you can dress down with sneakers for a casual day out or elevate with heels and a hoop earring for dinner.' Giadzy x Rails Giada Shirt in Ravello Stripe 'I'm also really into the Giada striped linen top. It's so easy and versatile- great thrown over a swimsuit or paired with shorts and a tank.' She concluded, 'Every piece in the collection is designed to be effortless and breezy, aka my idea of the ultimate Italian summer wardrobe,' so no matter what you're up to or what you're cooking this summer, you'll have the perfect wardrobe for it!

Giada In My Kitchen OTT Release Date: When and where to watch the new Giada De Laurentiis makeover special
Giada In My Kitchen OTT Release Date: Celebrity chef Giada De Laurentiis is back, but this time, she's swapping her spatulas for a sledgehammer. Her newest special, Giada In My Kitchen, is set to stream exclusively on Prime Video starting June 23, and it's a fresh spin on everything we've seen from the culinary queen before. The show will be available in over 240 countries and territories, making it a global treat for fans of food, design, and stories. What's the show about? Unlike her previous food-focused TV shows, Giada In My Kitchen is more about transformation than recipes. This one-off special brings Giada together with Erick Garcia, a top-tier interior designer, as they work side by side to surprise deserving families with their dream kitchen makeovers. The idea is simple but powerful - many home cooks are passionate and skilled, but they're working in kitchens that don't support or inspire them. Giada and Erick aim to fix that. From updating cramped cooking spaces to installing state-of-the-art appliances and beautiful, functional layouts, each makeover is meant to change how families cook, connect, and live. Cast and crew details Giada De Laurentiis – Host and Executive Producer Erick Garcia – Designer, Co-Host Mary Beth Anderson – Showrunner and Executive Producer Courtney White, Deanna Markoff, Liz Fine – Executive Producers Production Companies – Butternut (a Wheelhouse company) and Amazon MGM Studios A new chapter for Giada This special marks an evolution for Giada De Laurentiis, who left the Food Network in 2023 after more than two decades. She's now focused on her lifestyle brand Giadzy and exploring new ways to connect with her audience. Speaking to PEOPLE, she shared: 'It's less about cooking and more about transformation. It's helped me be okay with not knowing the answer and leaning on others to teach me.' At 54, Giada says she's enjoying learning again and embracing the unknown. That energy and passion are all over Giada In My Kitchen - it's a feel-good watch that's as much about people as it is about pantries.

Watch: Giada De Laurentiis leads kitchen reno in Prime Video special
1 of 3 | Giada De Laurentiis arrives on the red carpet for the Daytime Emmy Awards in 2019. She will host an upcoming Prime Video special. File Photo by Chris Chew/UPI | License Photo June 10 (UPI) -- Giada De Laurentiis will help gift a family the kitchen of their dreams in her Prime Video special Giada in My Kitchen, due June 23. In a trailer released Tuesday, De Laurentiis, 54, discusses her upcoming show near a fireplace. "I think I know a thing or two about setting up a great kitchen," the celebrity chef and former Food Network star said. "So many cooks are stuck with a kitchen that isn't working for them." That will change by the end of the special -- De Laurentiis will partner with Erik Garcia to renovate the space. "A great kitchen should feel like a dance -- everything in its place, just where you need it," she told People. "...I always prioritize flow and function first, then layer in beauty through natural materials like marble, wood and stone to bring warmth, texture and personality into the space." Giada left Food Network in 2023 after more than two decades, hosting such shows as Everyday Italian, Giada at Home and Giada's Weekend Getaways.
